 in a circle in its center. Above that is the year - “1997” - and below is “84B”

A round manhole cover with the words: "Westinghouse Electric & Mfg. Co. Alternating System. Grimshaw Insulated Wire White Core."

I suspect this is a remnant of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition and the "Current War." This is on Jackson Park's Wooded Island. It says: "Westinghouse Electric & Mfg. Co. Alternating System. Grimshaw Insulated Wire White Core." #ManholeCoverMonday

A black paper background, on the left hand side there is white font that states, "Rally for Trans Visibility". Below this, there is smaller white font that states, "Saturday, April 4th, 1PM - Federal Plaza, Chicago - transupfrontil.com". To the right of the font, there is a drawing of a child in a pink jacket, pink boots, and a teal skirt showing a peace sign with one hand and holding a large trans flag in the other.

Trans Up Front is built on the knowledge and understanding that trans people have always and will always exist and find joy everyday, regardless of any attacks on our community.
